BREAKING: Jeb Bush is formally exploring 2016 White House bid
The Washington Times ^ | December 16, 2014 | Seth McLaughlin

Jeb Bush is exploring a 2016 presidential bid.

The former Florida governor said in a post on Facebook Tuesday that over the Thanksgiving holiday there was a lot of discussion about the future of the nation.

“As a result of these conversations and thoughtful consideration of the kind of strong leadership I think America needs, I have decided to actively explore the possibility of running for President of the United States,” Mr. Bush said.

Mr. Bush said he plans to establish a Leader PAC next month to “help me facilitate conversations with citizens across America to discuss the most critical challenges facing our exceptional nation.”

“The PAC’s purpose will be to support leaders, ideas and policies that will expand opportunity and prosperity for all Americans,” he said.

Good, now let’s have more RINO types running so they can all split the vote down the middle!

Well, the FR RINO fan boys are partying....

I don't know why you feel the need to put the letters FR into your post. If you spend any time here you will know that FR does not have any RINO fanboys. You will have to insult a different group of people in the future.

I hope part of his exploration is to see how he will feel when he gets his rear handed to him. We don’t want anymore fake conservatives running as conservative. Maybe he should run as a Democrat against Hillary and that fake Indian woman. He would be a better fit in that race.

IF Cruz doesn’t run, I’m going to vote for Trump, lol

I’d love to hear Trump and Warren debate each other.

Even if Cruz runs, it is unlikely he can pull as many votes as Trump, who has spent a lifetime of building good will due to his hotels.

Jeb Bush and his entire family are a class act and not deserving of the derision they get here.

I beg to differ. Jeb, George W., George H.W, and Prescott are posterboys for everything that's wrong with the GOP establishment: crypto-liberalism on fiscal issues and especially on immigration, cronyism, and on top of that the nauseating sense of entitlement that comes with being part of a political dynasty.

The Bush family wants all its brothers to become POTUS.

I’m surprised that Karl Rove hasn’t trotted out Neil Bush as a POTUS candidate yet. Surely Neil would run this country as well as he ran Silverado S&L!

Actually I think it’s great. We need multiple RINOs to slug it out and split the vote. Ideally we would want one conservative (Cruz) vs a pack of bloodied RINOs

No surprise. Look at the field and how unappealing it is. If there’s ever a time, this is it.

Guess it doesn’t really matter to me, since I live in a uber-communist state and the primary here is rather late, but I hope the voters of the earlier states stop Jeb in his tracks - why with Jeb’s views on Common Core and amnesty would he ever be able to win the nomination and with that RINO baggage and legacy attached to boot? I think Jeb is worse than Dole, worse than his big RINO brother, worse than McCain, worse than Romney. He ought to run for president of Mexico so that his midget wife would be Uno Senoria, or whatever they call it there.
